Do you ride or walk the course? - Page 6

I carry 14 clubs for 18 holes at age 53.   I have been walking almost everyday for the last two weeks for an hour and this has help me back in shape and I notice an improvement in my game, especially the focus on the last few holes during a round playing 18 holes.

 

I ride the cart because i dont want to have a huge back up behind me (slow down play)... its faster finding my ball when I slice it in a cart than walking.  The day I consistently hit the fairway or miss the fairway to where I can see where the ball lands than I will start walking.

 

I am much improved though.  I only miss the fairway badly 3 out of 9 holes now.

 

 

I used to ride all the time because I have a bad back. But I've found that walking help keeps it loose during the round so now Im a walker and loving it!

This time of year, I ride because I get too hot walking. I live in the Mojave desert in southern California and temperatures are above 100 most of the time until late september or so. I simply cannot enjoy the game if my clothes are soaked through with sweat and/or I feel like the sun in literally sucking the life out of me.

 

During the winter I generally walk because the exercise is good for me. I might add that the only reason I walk while golfing is for the exercise. I dont believe it makes me or anyone else more or less of a golfer.

 

Whether I am walking or riding and no matter what time of year, I dont judge anyone or really care either way whether they walk or ride. I find it amusing that people get so hung up on this and start spitting venom over something so completly silly and inconsequential. Quite honestly if you can learn to mind your own business over pointless stuff like golf carts on the course you will likely lead a happier and less stressful life.

I am in Arizona so I ride in the Summer and walk the rest of the year.  I enjoy walking more, but I typically play in the afternoon, even in the Summer, so riding is the only way to go for me during the Summer months.

I usually walk. but I have been riding because of the recent heat wave.

Prefer to walk whenever I can - much easier to stay connected to your game. I only ride when it is not practical to walk, usually based on the course. Riding is particularly painful when it's cart path only and you have to grab 3 or 4 clubs, only to get to your ball and see you need a different club because of a lousy lie......

I ride in a cart, Its free, why not?

I don't think it really matters as long as you're keeping pace. 

I like to walk as much as possible because that is how I grew up playing in tournaments but now a days it is a little more enjoyable to ride and have a few beverages! When I do ride though, I do like to sit passanger and walk to my ball as much as possible.
